Utah’s DWR killed the first-known established wolfpack in Utah in over 100 years. Wolves are still considered an endangered species, and fall under federal control and protection…except for a part of northern Utah, so as to protect a couple of ranchers’ head of cattle. www.abc4.com/animals/utah...

I didn’t even catch this angle showing her about to throw hands. Seriously glad she wasn’t hurt. And her natural instincts to deck that bully? Chef’s kiss.
Toughest congressperson in America rears back for a punch, and refuses to cut short townhall, after asshole sprays her with something.

Glad she’s okay. And to watch her insisting on carrying on with her talk?! 💪
This is how you stand up to bullies.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Utah’s Governor Cox asking us all AGAIN to pray for snow. We’re in a severe winter drought and instead of legislation that might remotely address any single one of the root causes of Utah water issues, we’re just gonna “pray the drought away.” Not a single actionable solution. Maybe AI can fix it!

I love my little neighborhood tribe. We’ve started a Soup Group between four friends. Once a month we each make a pot of soup; enough to share between the four households. And it’s been the best thing ever. Basically once a week we don’t have to cook, and we have our own little loving soup commune.

As seen on a walk around our lake. It’s managed to stay there for a couple of weeks, which is wild for this area. It’s definitely visible to the average passerby. Sometimes, it’s the little things….

So we’ve (the U.S.) officially bowed out of the World Health Organization? And we’re the *only* country to ever do this? Awesome. Great. We’ll be fine. This is fine. Everything’s fine.

Palate cleanser. Watching my dad and mom in their 70’s and 80’s out walking with my son; their grandson. “Baba, we have to balance on the curb. The ground is hot lava!” And they happily oblige…well, grandma does. Grandpa has a bum knee, but still walks miles every day! THIS gives me all the joy.

I received a most excellent gift for my birthday a few days ago from my dear friend Jenn, and in hit me right in the feels. Even more-so knowing she ordered it a few months ago when Weir was still with us. It’s a quilt made with Grateful Dead album covers including Cornell ‘77. Feeling extra loved.

The smell of a new cassette tape is a vividly strong *core memory*. I can’t explain it. (I do wonder if it was the Chromium(IV) oxide of the tape, or something in the ink or paper of the j-card?) Anyone else love it? The scent ranks right up there with petrichor and chocolate chip cookies for me.

Shout out to Melania Trump's home country, Slovenia, for putting Donald Trump on the cover of 'Objektiv' magazine. Not only did they give him a 'H*tler' style moustache, but they also made it out of oil.
